A/N: Please note that after this chapter, I'm completely lost. The request stream has kinda slowed down, and I'm always eager to please.

After the class had been thoroughly scarred by the testosterone and bro puns coming out of a certain pair after a certain incident, school got out for the day. While Makoto didn't know what to make of the two's newfound bond, he realized that that wasn't his current issue. No, his problem was that he had no idea where Toko had run off to. It had been a couple days since he had confronted Celeste, and he thought she appreciated the gesture, but he couldn't really be sure. He didn't want to confront Toko right after class as he knew that probably wouldn't go very well, so he had to let her leave. Over the last few days, he realized that he had no idea where she could possibly be. Until…

He gave himself a well-deserved facepalm. "Why did I never check the library? She's an author!"

And there she was, hiding behind a bookshelf, watching the most frequent inhabitant of the library. Her infatuation with Byakuya Togami was common knowledge at this point, and no one had really tried to understand it. Well, except for Hifumi who predicted that everyone would soon see her true yandere nature.

Byakuya knew she was there, of course, as it was definitely not the first time. But she had miraculously not spoken directly to him since he forbad her to, and he had no intention of encouraging her.

Makoto was not dumb enough to sneak up on her, as she would most definitely scream, so he decided to just to walk straight up to her.

"Hey, Toko."

"Gyaa!" Even though he was standing right next to her, she didn't seem to notice him until he spoke up.

"Woah, sorry about that. I didn't mean to scare you."

He is immediately treated to a glare. "W-what do you want?"

"I just wanted to-wow I am generic." He laughs at himself a little. "I wanted to see how you were doing."

"W-why would you care? I-it's not even like I k-know you or anything."

"Sure, we don't know each other very well, but I'm making an effort to talk to all my classmates."

She snorts. "O-obviously. I'm just one of the c-crowd aren't I? I-i'm only part of your s-stupid obligation because I'm in your class. Just like h-how I was invited to the p-party because I'm a girl. T-though you probably c-could've made it in."

Knowing what she was implying, he just sighs. "It's not obligation, you know. I want to."

"Y-yeah right. It's always the g-guys like y-you that are the d-dirtiest. They p-pretend to be nice, but they j-just want something." She looks at him in disgust. "Y-you're all the same."

"Come on, that generalization is a little unfair."

"Hundreds."

"Huh?"

"I-i think after a couple h-hundred I can say it and be c-completely fair." She trails off at the end. "P-pretty face, nice personality, p-popular, and they all turn out to be s-scum."

He looks at her both a little shocked, and a little worried. "I'm sorry."

"No you're not."

"Well, I am."

She looks at him and mutters to herself. "E-even though he's lying, i-it's not like he's d-done anything yet. I-it should be fine."

"What should be fine?"

"Gah! N-nothing!"

"Ok…"

"W-whatever. W-why are you still here?"

"I said I wanted to get to know you, and that's what I'm doing."

"Geez! Y-you are so f-frustrating! You know me p-plenty, and I would appreciate it if you l-left me a-alone."

"But…"

"Fine! F-follow me around like some w-weirdo! Just do it another time! I'm busy." She brushes him off as Byakuya gets up in preparation to leave.

"Wanna come back here tomorrow?"

"Yeah, sure whatever." She hadn't noticed what she agreed to, but nonetheless, she showed up the next day without knowing why.

A/N: This was going to be longer and much more full of revelations, but we can't stuff all the character into one chapter, now can we? On a side note, I put way too much thought into the moments when she stuttered.
